Renewables
We help leading companies create renewable portfolio strategies, develop expertise across the renewables value chain, and build business model capabilities. We have also evaluated renewable projects submitted to the DOE as loan guarantee applications.
Energy supply in the United States is on the cusp of significant changes. Renewables offer one solution to a complex set of issues by providing a means to hedge the conventional supply portfolio, both geographically and by fuel source.
Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are proliferating and increasing in scope. These standards now apply to 40% of the U.S. load, one-third of the standards have been adopted in the past two years, and a Federal Renewable portfolio standard is becoming a definite possibility.
Developing a strategy, business model, and business case for renewables is complex and time consuming, requiring a unique combination of skills that include the following:
- Project origination
- Project development
- Permitting
- Licensing
- Incentive and tax management
- Credit management
We perform renewable projects for a variety of clients including utilities, power generators, renewable developers, industrial companies, and the federal government.
